EXTENS lON-VALl S E.

SPECIFICATION forming part ofLettersPatent-No. 351,745, dated November 2,1886.

Application filed July 26, 1886. Serial No. 209,103. (No model.)

To all'whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL GILBERT DAM- REN, of Auburn, in the county of Androscoggin, of the State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Extension- Valises; and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the followingspecification-and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a vali se of my invention. Fig. 2 is a view of a sheet of card material,-showing the lines on which it is cut and those on which it is'bent at right angles in order to form it into one of the separate half portions or boxes of the valise. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section, aud Fig. 4 a Vertical section, of one of the saidboxes.

The nature of my invention is defined in the claims hereinafter presented, such invention being a new orimproved manufacture, consisting of an extension-ralise having each of its two sections composed of a box of cardboard or sheet material cut, bent, and folded in manner as hereinafter described.

In Figure 1, A and B denote the two sections or boxes composing the body and cover of the-valise, the body partAextending, mouth upward, within the cover B, which has its mouth downward, as is usual with such valises. Each of the said sections is made like I the other-that is, it is composed of a piece of ward the other at a right angle to the rectangle between them, after which each of the terminal rectangular portions f g p 0 and k Z t sis turned upward at a right angle to the rectan- Next, the rectangular parts ae0n,bh pq, cm 25 u, and dis?" are also each turned at a right angle to the next adjacent part of the wing, and are folded, as shown, against the inner sides of the two end portions f g p 0 and is Z t s. The rectangular portionsfg 2'0 1) and k Z ye may next be folded down upon the next adjacent edges and inner sides of the rectangular parts (6 c 0 a, 7) hp q,

0 m tu, and d i s 1'. j

The parts lapped on each other may be secured together by rivets, or by paste or cement suitably applied to them, the sheet by such meansbeing convertedinto an open box. which I usually cover externally and line internally with cloth or other proper material.

To the cover part a suitable handle and a closing or binding strap or straps for the two parts are to be applied, as is usual with extensionvalises.

From the above it will be seen that each box or section of the valisc is composed of a sheet .of material of which the rectangular part E constitutes the bottom, the rectangular portions I and M the opposite sides, and the remaining rectangular portions H D L K F N unite to form the two ends, or do so with the rectangular laps O and G.

I therefore claim 1. As an improved manufacture, an extension-valise having its body as well as its cover consisting of an open box, composed of a piece of sheet material cruciform in shape and cut and folded, andhaving the parts folded on each other fastened together by cementor suitable means, so as to form the ends of the box, in manner as specified. I

2. The valise cover or box, made ofsheet material, cruciform in shape, and cut, folded, and bent, andhaving the part-s folded on each other secured together by cement or other proper means, substantially as described, the.

wing portions of the cross being bent at a right angle to the intermediate portion, and also turned in and secured to end portions of the said intermediate portion, and parts of such intermediate portion being turned inwardly and lapped on and secured to the wings, as represented.

SAMUEL GILBERT. DAMREN.
